This is a great book full of ideas especially for 3 year olds. I work in a preschool and find this book is great because the activities are easier enough for the younger kids, yet fun enough for the older kids to enjoy. It's a must have for anybody who works with preschool aged children!

I love this book! As a preschool teacher, sometimes it is hard to come up with different activities for the kids. This book is loaded with ideas! It is also great for parents - each of the activities listed in the book tell you what materials you'll need and give suggestions for other activities to augment what you choose. Great book!

This book is great - just like the others, but not as many ideas for my 3-5 year old students. The other one's seem to offer more ideas.
